The Zanu-PF Masvingo provincial leadership has resolved to let the more than 15 000 settlers in the Save Valley Conservancy stay put, saying evicting them with general elections around the corner would be political suicide.

Provincial spokesperson, Ronald Ndava told TellZim News at the weekend that the government should, instead relocate wildlife from the conservancy to other habitats such as Gonarezhou National Park and Malilangwe Conservancy.

Ndava accused the EU, the biggest donor in conservation efforts in the Lowveld, of trying to use its money to stampede the government into toeing its line.
